In my driver's license renewal packet was a list of safety tips for, ahem, "mature" drivers (thank you for that euphemism, PennDOT). Some of them hit home, like "Aging eyes become more sensitive to bright light or glare." So darn true! I was driving home through a light rain the other evening and it was a challenge indeed when the oncoming cars were equipped with those dazzling LED headlights.
I smiled at another one of the safety tips, which my dear old Dad stressed to me while teaching me to drive: "Avoid looking directly into headlights of approaching vehicles." Look down at the white line on the edge of the road, he'd counsel me.
